LVMH Says Celine Artistic Director Hedi Slimane Is Leaving the Fashion Label.

Hedi Slimane, the artistic director of Celine, is leaving the LVMH fashion label after nearly seven years. During his tenure, Celine experienced significant growth and became an iconic French couture house. Slimane introduced the brand's inverted double-C logo and launched the popular Triomphe handbag. He also expanded Celine's customer base by appealing to a younger demographic through campaigns featuring models like Kaia Gerber. Slimane is known for his hands-on approach and his preference for overseeing the full creative process. He has also been recognized for his unique fashion presentations, such as using films instead of traditional runway shows. Celine generated approximately €2.6 billion in revenue last year, making it the seventh-largest contributor to LVMH's earnings. Before joining Celine, Slimane worked at Yves Saint Laurent and Dior menswear, where he made significant contributions to the fashion industry. [Extracted from the article]
